Stefan pov.I woke up the next morning to dress up for work, throughout my dressing, Mabel was still sleeping and I decided to leave her be. She came home late crying and she must be tired, I was even happy that she didn't fall sick.I walked out of the room after dropping a letter for her on the bed, telling her that I will be coming home late because I will be meeting up my investigator after work."Good morning sir, your food is ready." Alana told me immediately I got to the sitting room."Hi there Alana. Mabel came late yesterday, she must be the one that will be needing your attention, though she is still sleeping right now but as for me, I will just grab breakfast with Owen and George." I told her and left the room.I instructed the guards that at least five of them must follow Mabel about if she wanted to go out, so that I wouldn't be that worried for her anymore, I would just call the guards to know if they are fine and at least, one will pick the call out of all of them.I go
Stefan pov.I stood still with the guys with my eyes almost bugging out, after the attendant's words"I don't understand a thing you are saying, make it clear to me." I told her and crouched to her level as she was still kneeing and weeping."I was doing my job even the lady on the screen called me and told me that she wanted to give me a deal that I should tell no one about it, so I wanted to decline but she gave me no space to and she gave me the drugs to put in the other lady's drink." She explained."Who is the other lady?" I asked her with my heart beating very fast that I feared that the attendant would hear it, but I don't care."She said that the other lady was the lady that was dancing with you." She said and I didn't know when I fell to my butt in shock. Mabel! The drink was for Mabel!I widened my eyes in realization, Mabel would have been the one in Sandra's position, she would have been raped, she would have lose her womb, she would have....no, no! I tried to shook the wo
Mabel pov.I was in the sitting room, waiting patiently for Stefan, though I saw his letter in the morning where he told me that he would be visiting the investigator and that he would arrive home late, but I was curious, I wanted to hear how his meeting with the investigator went before I can sleep peaceably with the full mind that the culprit would be found and I can proof my friends wrong for not trusting me.I began to doze off on the single sitter, but woke up immediately when I heard the opening of the door, I knew it would be Stefan because I wasn't expecting anyone and moreover, it was night already."Hey." I greeted and ran to him."You suppose to be sleeping Mabel." He said, tucking his hands into his hair. He doesn't seemed okay to me, he seemed stressed out and tired."Go and shower, I will prepare your dinner, I'm sure that you are hungry." I muttered to him."Mabel.....""Just go, we can talk tomorrow, trust me, you will rest after dinner." I said, cutting him off.I did
Stefan pov.I left the shooting scene in the evening after work and headed to where I parked my car, I wasn't surprised when I met Owen and George in the garage, just beside my car. I have been ignoring their calls since morning and that was simply because I didn't wanted to talk to them."Hey bro." George pulled out hand for shaking but I ignored it. "Now, that's not fair. I was busy thinking that you didn't saw our calls and has been too busy to return it, but seriously, you're ignoring us intentionally?" He pulled down his hand and frowned."I'm just not ready for your words, I'm not in the mood for any of it." I opened the car to enter but Owen shut it back."You are seriously not leaving this place unless we resolve everything amicably among us." He said."Look, we are not fighting okay? I just need some times to think." I told them."I think we have given you some times already and it's enough." George said and I sighed, I folded my hands on each other."What do you both want fr
Stefan pov.I walked out of the room after my moment with Mabel and headed for the sitting room to meet my friends, I met them sitting on a double couch.Even though I was still not pleased with the presence of Mabel's friends here, I still kept my cool because of my friends."What of Mabel?" That was the first thing they asked me.I immediately understand that they had planned to ask for Mabel's forgiveness on behalf of the betrayals, but I won't let that happen. If Mabel was to be here, I'm sure that she would have forgiven them in no time, she was too softhearted but thank God, she has someone like me, who is strong headed. I didn't even know what annoyed me most, is it for the fact that they betrayed Mabel or for the fact that the one they were siding it the real culprit that wanted to destroy my life and that of Mabel? "She visited her parents and I'm sure she's tired right now, she is taking a nap." I told them and relaxed on a single seater."But the ladies are here for her,
Natasha pov.I know that I messed up, like I don't even know what I was thinking when I was busy accusing Mabel and did not suspect Sandra. We all know that Sandra was evil but Mabel? Why did I even believed Sandra? Maybe because she was in pain and I thought that she can't possibly inflict sure pain on herself.And now, I'm losing my friendship of years, just because of a mistake I'm ready to do everything in my power to amend, but I realized that everything was broken beyond repair and I lost Mabel, though I wasn't hopeless just yet.I wouldn't even have fallen victim of the broken friendship if I have listened to my heart then, my heart kept on telling me that Mabel can hurt a fly, talkless of hurting an human but I was blinded with....... I don't even know what and now, it cost me my friend."Hey, it's okay, everything will be fine I'm sure of it and you three will be that inseparable friends we all knew." Owen said as he pulled me in an embrace and began to part my back in the ac
Stefan pov.I stared at Owen with a mockery look on my face, as he kept on grumbling till he was out of sight and Natasha quickly ran after him. I finally busted into laugher, laughing harder that I almost choked on my food, they were just funny, too funny and I can't help but laugh."Now, that's okay or you can choke for real this time." Mabel scolded and I decided to stop laughing until I remembered Owen's face again and busted into another round of laughter.I know their schedules because they both had told me to remind them about the meetings, the both meetings were very important and since I'm the only one that's serious with my life, they begged me to remind them. I wouldn't have remembered too if it's not because of the outing they talked about and I really didn't want to go to any outing with the girls, I still didn't trust them."It's not really funny Stefan, they are your friends and you are making jest of them, I will also laugh at you if they decide to pay you back." "So,
Mabel pov.I should up with Stefan and held his hand tightly as he took me around the garden. The garden had a varieties of flowers in it, like the tulips that were in line by line, sunflowers by it side, hydrangea too, there was lavender, peony, daisy, orchid, red rose and more, every kind of flowers were there, just name it!I was beaming with smile all along as we walked by the flowers. Stefan picked a rose for me."From my heart to you." He said and I laughed, that was the best gift I have ever been offered and it made it more amazing, seeing that it came from him."Do you know what this means Stefan?" I asked him with a raised brow and refused to collect the rose from him."Of course I do. I won't be here, doing all these if I don't know the meaning." He told me with a smile."Oh! Okay then, I'm collecting it because it is a rose, don't think otherwise." I collected the rose from him and sniffed it to perceive the pleasant intoxicating scent. "Now, this is satisfying.""I know yo
